Do you think "motherfucker" still has a sexual connotation? That term and "cocksucker" have been applied universally and interchangeably in my experience to things like doors that stick, short green lights, and people on the other side of the globe who cheat at Mario Kart.

+1 I was going to say exactly that. I hate that phrase.

Plea agreement (victim being a porn star might even swing the prosecution further to the "let's not bring this to a jury if we can help it") + concurrent sentences + good behavior + mandated counseling/psychiatry after release. He might get sentenced to 15-20 real years (multiple concurrents), but I would be surprised…

Scot-free might be a stretch but not outside the realm of possibility, but I can imagine dozens of scenarios in which he gets out after a ludicrously short stint in prison with court-mandated anger management counseling or similar.

With the help of our lord and savior Jesus Christ, obviously. Without Him, she would surely become a drooling degenerate feasting on her own excrement and, of course, Monster energy drinks.

Re: DVD - your laptop uses a fair amount more power to spin that DVD in the tray than playing it straight from a file on disk, so download or rip with MakeMKV or similar ahead of time. You'll do even better watching content on a capable tablet if you've already got one (don't use your phone, you might need that power).

Like I mentioned in another comment, these are different things. Marriott was fined because they were using radio interference to jam/block the WiFi radio from guests' cellular hotspots, which were completely independent of the Marriott's own network. That most certainly is illegal, and it served no legitimate…

Not quite - my understanding is that the Marriott was using their own jammers to block Wifi radio from a guest's cell hotspot in the room, completely independent of the hotel's own network. That is very much illegal primarily because they are interfering with radio communications, and why the FCC was involved.

As an aside, it should go without saying that you should protect yourself on any public network, but it goes double at the lower-tier places where the owner's friend's son set up the WiFi and it's unsegmented and every device can clearly see all other devices on the entire network (including the computers running the…

I haven't personally experienced it yet, but some of my better-traveled friends tell me that there are an increasing number of hotels blocking rogue access points. It's pretty easy to do with any enterprise switching/routing gear.

Agreed. I'm 6'4" and if the flight is more than about 90 minutes (not including waiting around on the runway) I will find a way to get myself into an extra legroom row by paying ahead of time on a particularly long flight or by turning on the charm and having a viable story after I'm at the gate. I'll usually try to…

OK that kind of answers my question, i.e. there is strong evidence other than the testimony of the victims. For my own peace of mind I just wanted to know that he's got a really good shot at getting convicted.

Clearly you have never worked in or near a mall during the holiday season. It's a bitch, but I think I'd prefer that to working in food service anyway

If you don't give a shit about how the uninvited person feels, then it's moot (this is where you stand in my life, sir/ma'am). But if you WOULD invite them if not for costs or something else beyond your control and you wish that you could, then at least invite them to the bachelor/bachelorette party. If you're have a…

And the problem here (again, I'm just tuning in) is that the credibility of several of these witnesses/victims is questionable due to past criminal convictions of their own, which is why they were targeted by him in the first place; therefore, there's a pretty good chance he won't get convicted of any of the sex…

Even if you don't give 2 shits about either/any candidate, you should at least show up to vote for the LAWS on the ballot, if not for the people. Those have an immediate effect on everyone.

Is there any evidence besides the testimony of the victims? Not being a troll, just genuinely curious if this guy can get convicted based solely on that.

Speaking as someone who is unfamiliar with the legal vagaries of rape prosecution, how can it be proven that this guy actually did these things, especially given the shaky credibility of some of the victims (criminal history etc.) and the lack of rape kits/DNA evidence? Is it just based on circumstantial evidence,…

+1 to this. I see movies by myself a few times a year.

Re: home invasion protection in 24 hours - yes. Buy an alarm panel with a wireless expansion kit, put wireless contacts on your doors and windows that you can't get a wire to (just drag it on the floor - this is a temporary system which we can assume by the artificial 24-hour constraint), wireless motion detectors in…
